Scenario

When friend groups lose their gathering place and can't agree on what comes next

Our friend group has been meeting at the same coffee shop for three years and now it's closing and we're all scattered about where to go next and some people want to just meet at houses but others think that changes the whole dynamic and honestly it's revealing things about what we each thought this friendship was.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
